I never noticed when I test rode the scoot. Honda seem to have a thing about linked brakes on certain bikes,Pan European, Blackbird etc!
If the new 350 does have linked brakes which leaver does which wheels. Obviously the right does the front and the left does the rear but is just one leaver linked or are they both linked?
Does the new 350 Forza have linked brakes??

No, the Forza 350 brakes are not linked.

Same with the SH3500. I'm not sure why they dropped it.

Rumour has it it was dropped in favour of Traction Control.

Honda used to fit combined brakes to many things, and still do I think to smaller scoots where ABS isn't mandatory.

ABS is mandatory on the Forza 350.
Link brakes were, effectively, dropped although they weren't ever fitted, and traction control was fitted.

Re: Does the new 350 Forza have linked brakes??
My ST1100 had linked brakes, ABS and traction control. I never had any concerns with the system but it was a very heavy beast and needed all the help I could get. IIRC there was a slight delay between applying the front brake and the rear calliper coming on.
